Transmission drain plug hits chain

[Oldman800]

I guess the Silent chain will keep streching until it wear's a hole thru the case.

Good point, does the chain continue to loosen until it starts wearing through the case?

Taking mine to dealer next week for same problem. Asked them what has been changed to fix problem. Dealer said part # for chain has changed, so thats all the info. I got from him. Guess I will try it and see. Fixing it under warranty.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you for the chain and labor to install it?

was under warranty, so paid the $50. just checked bill and chain is listed at $66 CDN. no price for drain plug.
